Huge doors open to the terrace and swimming pool.

The villa’s three bedrooms are located on this same level, ideal if you have any mobility issues. Each bedroom enjoys comfy twin beds, some of which are placed next to each other. Every room in the villa is painted bright white with gorgeous colour pops coming from headboards, artwork and soft furnishings. The villa is immaculate. Guests share two generously sized, attractively tiled bathrooms, one with a huge walk-in shower and the other with a bath and overhead shower. There is also an outdoor shower next to the pool.

There are also loungers next to the swimming pool, the perfect spot to capture the sun’s glorious rays and read your holiday books.

Just a few minutes down the road, you will find a supermarket for supplies and some lovely restaurants. You can catch a bus into Ciutadella if you want to pop in for an evening stroll, dinner and a few glasses of your favourite tipple.

Casa Ercilia enjoys a delightful, peaceful location in Los Delfines, just 3.5 km from Ciutadella and only a few metres from the sea. Los Delfines is famous for its Aqua Center waterpark which offers 12,500 square metres of fun for the whole family. There are many thrilling slides and attractions including the Black Hole, Adventure River and various water tunnels, giant slides, pools, a water playground and much more.

Ciutadella gets its name from ‘Citadel’, a fortified city. There are still some remnants of the old walls, especially around the harbour. The town’s inner courtyards are beautiful with fountains and draping colourful flowers. Its working harbour is very busy with small fishing boats, yachts and boat trips. It is lined with some excellent bars and restaurants. If you get to the picturesque harbour early enough you can watch the fishermen bringing in the local catch of the day. You can catch a ferry from Ciutadella to Alcudia in Mallorca.Ciutadella enjoys many elegant streets and many shops. It is known as ‘Vella I Belli’ (‘Old and Beautiful’) and it is easy to see why. It is Menorca’s second city with an engaging old quarter lined with grand gold-tinged buildings. The medieval streets are filled with palaces, churches and fortresses as well as its wonderful restaurants and bars. Placa d’es Born is one of the most picturesque squares in the town. Ciutadella celebrates its local festival on 23 and 24 June each year and the party is one of the most spectacular festivals in Menorca.

Calas Picas is a very special, small, narrow cove with a lovely sandy beach and calm, clear water. It is easily accessible on foot but not quite so easy with pushchairs or for those with mobility issues. South of Ciutadella, you can head to some fabulous beaches in the south western corner of Menorca, in particular Cap d’Artrutx, Cala en Bosch and Son Xoriguer.  The sunsets in this dreamy corner of Menorca are sensational and there are excellent watersports to be enjoyed at Son Xoriguer Beach. Cala en Bosch enjoys a fabulous marina that sweeps inland connected to the sea via a narrow channel. Its a wonderful spot for a scenic stroll admiring the speed boats and colourful fishing boats that are anchored. For some thrilling family fun you can visit the brilliant Aquarock waterpark or try your hands at go-karting. You will find some fabulous fish restaurants overlooking the marina.

In the countryside, you will discover the pretty, whitewashed village of Ferreries. It dates back to the 13th century although the main church of Saint Bartholomew was built in the 18th century. Ferreries is an important industrial town for shoes and furniture and boasts a busy Saturday morning market in the Plaza Espana. You can shop for homemade produce, cheese, cold meat specialities, spicy local sausage, pastries, cakes, jams and honey. There are also fabulous handicrafts such as macrame, etched glass, leatherwork and the famous abarca sandals. The fair enjoys the sounds of island music and folklore dance so it is a lovely excursion. Ferreries enjoys some excellent tapas bars, charming boutiques, jewellery shops, leather shops and Mascaro, an international shoe maker. Most of the factories sell direct to the public. The countryside of Menorca is sprinkled with historical monuments and traces of the island’s long history. You will discover talaiots, ancient fortresses which were built around 3000 years ago for defence as well as many rural paths, ancient woodlands, beautiful valleys and gorges. The island’s coastal path Cami De Cavalls is a total wonder with access to beautiful sandy beaches, rocky diving pools and reefs resplendent with sea life.
